I know mine and ISOMs sian, wanna guess?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we have a higher than usual amount of INFP/Js on this thread.

And in my head you're an ENFP but pretty close on the J/P and E/I (I bet I'm totally wrong and you're laughing now!)

And I have Lesley as an ISFJ

And I think Allegra might be an ENFP

Aless... Hmmmmn ESTJ?

Shanks INFP

Now I want to know what you think I am?

I'll stick my neck out and go for susan as an ISFJ (but very close on the F/T border)

weezl74

you are a hard one tho susan so I bet I'm wrong! :rotfl:

I'm very interested if you could say more about how you made the decisions you did in going 'halfway' with the planner. I wonder if a story that said, 'well I didn't want to go the whole hog so I...' and wrote your experiences, might be a useful addition to the site
I also cheekily wonder if I can ask, having gone down now to the £185, do you think you will stop there, or do you see it as something you might slowly go further with, like £180 next month with the inclusion of one more dish or something? QUOTE]

To be honest Weezl because I had no desperate need to cut back to just £100 I thought it would be more sensible to go with what I thought my family would definitely eat. (Myself, husband and two sons although our older son is away in the Falklands for 4 months now, my younger son is 15 and oddly enough is called Jason!)
I could have tried the whole thing, I did consider it, but being practical and hating waste I decided to go with meals they would not outright object to. If I had suddenly changed our whole diet to unrecognisable things there would surely have been a revolt. Once you get a foot on the ladder it's easier to then get up one step at a time. My husband says he will be happy to try out some of the other recipes with an open mind, even though they contain items he might not consider to actually be food!
My husband and son both have problems with food, my husband because he was forced to eat things he didn't like as a child and my son because he had chronic eczema as a baby, it meant he had many food allergies. He simply didn't get the chance of a varied diet early on, because so many foods made him unwell, so he is not good at trying anything new. Mainly because of this I had to make a decision on cost v's eatability, in some cases I would be totally unable to even get Jason to taste something, let alone eat a whole platefull! Jason will not touch minced beef for example, although if made into meatballs with a little sausage he doesn't mind it.
I already make my own bread, scones, cakes and biscuits, also I have been making more meals from scratch for the last year or so. Previously it was harder to find time, Jason is being home-schooled so I was doing lessons all day. Now he is onto his GCSEs he is studying with the NEC on distance learning courses, having course tutors means I just have to supervise now.
They have both enjoyed the carrot cake very much, chicken and onion pie also went down well, as did bacon and onion pudding, anything with pasta is very popular and we all like making home made pizzas. Jason likes your liver pate, which is bizarre as he hates liver and he will eat Falafel despite hating chick peas.
I have tried other recipes for myself, I made some nut butter with spicy cashews I bought at Approved Foods and it was really nice, I have it on crackers, houmous too I will happily eat, if only the rest of the family were so un-fussy! Sorry again for the long post!:rotfl:

see you're very futures conscious, so that's quite an 'N' quality....

But then excellent at detail, so that's more S like.

But I'll eat my hat if you're a P. I just so totally think you're a J.

My guess for you would be ESFJ. And here is why...




"ESFJs are people persons - they love people. They are warmly interested in others. They are extremely good at reading others, and understanding their point of view. People like to be around ESFJs, because the ESFJ has a special gift of invariably making people feel good about themselves.
They see before others do what needs to be done, and do whatever it takes to make sure that it gets done. They enjoy these types of tasks, and are extremely good at them.
ESFJs are warm and energetic. They are very giving people, who get a lot of their personal satisfaction from the happiness of others. They're very sensitive to others, and freely give practical care.
ESFJs who have had the benefit of being raised and surrounded by a strong value system that is ethical and centered around genuine goodness will most likely be the kindest, most generous souls who will gladly give you the shirt off of their back without a second thought. For these individuals, the selfless quality of their personality type is genuine and pure.
ESFJs at their best are warm, sympathetic, helpful, cooperative, tactful, down-to-earth, practical, thorough, consistent, organized, enthusiastic, and energetic. They enjoy tradition and security, and will seek stable lives that are rich in contact with friends and family"

Forgive me ISOM but I am not sure I know you well enough to call it. Though from what you have said about your life I would guess you are an E and F and P, not sure on the S and N....
I am an ENFP, well called, actually very strong on the E but close on the J and P like you said. Though my disorganised life does scream P I am working on it!

Jaytin, thank you for your fascinating post!

Susan is thinking of home schooling her 3 yr old and phizzimum does too, perhaps you can be our home-school adviser

I probably know this already, but which were DH's 'non-foods'?

I have cut out all our tabs etc on the top., hope no one if offended by the poker sites its a big part of our life and I forget it can look dodgy!!

I LOVE this page at the moment and think the banner is much betterxxx

OOOh I don't know whether to say now in case anyone else wants to guess and I doon't want to spoil the fun!:rotfl:

Actually, perhaps everyone who posts is an E and all the lurkers are the I ones

Weezl if I click 'recipes' I just get a list but if I click 'motn one at a glance' I get it divided into breakfast, lunch, dinner. Is this done on purpose??

ETA: I can actually type and I'm not drunk. My wireless keyboard is giving up slowly. Just thought I would say as I have noticed mistakes in my posts todayxxx
